Default Anyone ride with the ABS disabled?

I'm just curious if anyone ride with their abs system disabled. I noticed that mine interferes a little too early. Maybe it's due to my tire size but whatever, so anyone here ride that way?

I had my front ABS speed sensor go out and I ran with it for a month until I had time to replace it. The ABS/VSC lights were on, meaning they are disabled. TBH, I didn't feel any difference. After replacing the speed sensor, the light turned off by itself.

my abs sensor went on my left front, i put on ls400 brakes because the braking still sucked. I still lock them up, but more control than with abs. its weird, the car doesnt beep when drifting, just getting a little sideways in the rain

well it also depends on what code was it about. If it's a module related then yes get it fixed ASAP. Mines was just a simple speed sensor.

I've been rolling with no abs, due to a bad speed sensor for 6 months. I love it... but im also rocking ls 4 pot calipers with project mu pads
